Mission & Purpose
COMMIT has proven its ability to build powerful tools, relationships and cultures that empower our Nation’s finest in their transition out of uniform.
MISSION
Strengthening Transformation Through Purpose, Identity, and Community
The COMMIT Foundation empowers those who have served and their families to create purposeful and fulfilling transitions by providing personalized programs, resources, and the support of community.
Vision and Values
COMMIT inspires great people to navigate through transitory times so that they can lead others to better times and do great things, creating stronger communities.
COMMIT envisions a world where high-potential, transitioning individuals transform, discover their purpose and identity, and build thriving communities through serendipitous networks and strategic guidance.

How It Started
Moved by the experience of her husband’s service struggles in transition and the veterans she met who were entering civilian life, Anne Meree Craig partnered with a friend and founded The COMMIT Foundation in 2012.
Anne Meree wanted to create a place where those who served our Nation could gain information, build confidence, and grow their imagination during their transition. What she created was the COMMIT Foundation, where all veterans already have a unique value proposition that benefits our communities.
While The COMMIT Foundation has stayed true to this original mission, as the military need has shifted, the COMMIT Foundation has continued to evolve. Focusing on the areas of identity, purpose, and building a supportive community, COMMIT strives to ensure that all those who have served can achieve a meaningful life post-service.
Over a decade later, COMMIT has served over 7,000 Fellows through over 33,000 services.
